I am probably going against the rest here but I do think any company and/or person should have a right to keep their ideas until they want to let it become fully out in the public domain. However, I also believe companies should follow the Valve model of things, for example how Zombie Panic Source is a mod of Half-Life Source (probably my favorite zombie game). I also like what that guy at newgrounds did with that Super Mario Bros. medley type game allowing you to play through the entire SMB1 as Mario, Samus, Contra characters, Link, Ryu (ninja gaiden), and Megaman. Of course this last example should probably extend to games made up to 2 generations ago like having someone being able to mod crash, spyro, or ratchet and clank.
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
